Purpose

Bagshot Park, Surrey: survey drawings and designs for entrance with lodges for H.M. Woods and Forests, 1798-9 (8)

Notes

The designs were made at the request of H.M. Woods and Forests, to which Soane was appointed Deputy Surveyor in 1795. The work was on behalf of the Duke of Clarence, later William IV, who lived at Bagshot Park until 1816. The house itself was later rebuilt by Benjamin Ferrey (1810-1880) in 1877. It is still used as royal residence.

There are a further three drawings for a gate and lodges at Bagshot Park see P.du Prey, Sir John Soane, Catalogues of Architectural Drawings in the Victoria and Albert Museum, 1985, p.41
